Endurance.Net Ridecamp Archives

We now have a way of showing the location of rides on a map that goes 
along with the ride calendar.  I posted earlier today about this new 
feature.

Our difficulty has been getting ridecamp coordinates to add to the maps.
We have been depending on getting GPS coordinates from ride managers or 
riders who attended the ride.

There's a way to do this online that will enable anyone who has been to 
a ride - and is location oriented - to get the coordinates and send them 
for addition to the ride calendar.

If you go to

http://www.juggling.org/bin/un.cgi/map-find

then click on the approximate area of the state where the ride is - 
progressive zooms in will bring you to a very detailed map with the 
coordinates we need.

The only difficulty is that for the first 3 levels - you only see white 
space.  At the 4th level you can see cities/roads, and on the 5th level 
you get names.

Unless you are good at guessing where in a large white space the nearest 
city is - I'd suggest keeping another window open to yahoo or google 
maps(with names) centered on the nearest city so you can select the 
right area to get to level 5.

Once you have the coordinates for the rides you are willing to look up - 
please send them to Bob Morris - bobmorris@xxxxxxxx - for the calendar.
